' The hum of headers, binders and combine harvesters will be like the rattle of drums to tho great army of men marching1 along- tho swaths a,nd around tho broad rectangles of yellow straw, laden with golden grain. Desptto the more extensive uso of labor-saving machinery and the reduction of yield prospects be cause of drought, insect ravages and damage by freezing1, farmers of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas will . look to other states for at lr-ant 20,000 men to hurvest about225t 000,000 bushels of wheut. Tho combines, which cut and thresh tho grain at tho same time have reduced very materially the demand for labor on tho large farms.

New York C'liy Member Oorgas Memorial Nobody knows how many tongue tied children there are, but whut everyone does know is that theirs is a very pitiful case. Not to be able to talk.'vhen all other children are talking what a humiliation! And of course that is only the be ginning, for the child soon learns that there is nothing to be done about it and begins to adapt him self to idea that he Is shut out from I part of the w orld in which be lives. The older he grows the more timid he becomes; he shrinks Into himself and away from others. He hus lit tle choice uf occupations. He has none of the activities proper to ad olescence. The fullness of adult llfo he feels, is not for him. How many thousands of lives have been. ure being, lived in that unending consciousness of inferiority? And none of it Is necessary. Near ly everyone thinks it In, but it Isn't. Not any longer. Not since the new kind of surgery hns found the way to loose the tie and give the tongue Its natural swing. It may be asked why. If that is possible now, the family doctor has not had it done always. The family doctor did not know, may not know even now, for the determining factor hus made its appearance only recently. It has always been possible, so to "I'say. to cut the cable that holds the j ship, for the trouble is ordinarily lie both the base of the tongue and the adjacent floor of the mouth. Hut merely excising these mem branes would have done no good, as scar would have formed over the surKlcal wound, and this scar would have held the tongue down faster than ever. The doctor knew this, and very properly did not hold out false hopes. But suppose tne tongue could be freed and the denuded surfaces could be covered by a membrane that would not contract, a mem jbrane under which the tissues; of jthe tongue would have perfect free !dom of movement? That would change the whole aspect of the problem. The recent intensive de velopment of reparative surgery pends largely on the manner in which It is fed.

Kven In eases of greater than usual severity, as for example where all one side of the tongue is held fast, function can be given to the tongue by skilful implication of appropriate methods of mem brane replacement after surgical release. It is rather a wonderful thing that there should be hope for the tongue-tied child, in a shav ing, which .he will never miss, from the skin of his arm, but It is the fact, .though as yet not all doctors are aware of the fact.
